Deep garnet to black colour with an interesting bouquet of dark plums, cocoa, fig and pipe tobacco. A dry, medium to full-bodied wine with velvety tannins and a rich mouth-feel. Although technically dry, there are almost sweet flavours of rich black fruits, chocolate, vanilla, oak, and sweet spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and cumin. A warming, lingering finish of cocoa, black fruits and Chai spice. Enjoy with braised meats; London broils; red meats in rich reductions; winter stews; game meats.
